  14. Benefits – as of 2008… Economic Impact of BC Recycling Regulation (2008) by Gardner Pinfold Consulting Economists - 2100 jobs created - Reduced landfill costs (short and long term) - Reduced GHG`s - 5.3 million gigajoules of energy saved each year - equivalent to 72,950 passenger cars removed from the roadway each year 16

  15. Canada-wide Action Plan for EPR (2009) Provides all provinces and territories with a harmonized set of principles and a common schedule of products Phase 1 (by 2015) Phase 1 (by 2015) Phase 2 (by 2017) Phase 2 (by 2017) • packaging and printed materials, • construction and demolition materials • electronics and electrical • furniture, textiles and carpet • mercury-containing products (including lamps), • appliances (including ODS) • household hazardous and special wastes, and • automotive products

  16. • Combined population of 52 million and a GDP of $2.5 trillion. • 7th largest economy in the world – by 2030 this Pacific Coast economy will surpass $4 trillion. • In November 2010, PCC leaders announced a new initiative to collaborate on Marine Debris and Product Stewardship. British Columbia, California, Washington, Oregon are working together to share Product Stewardship information and expertise.

  17. The Future….. • Magnify the financial incentive to producers • Landfill bans from local governments • EPR program performance improvement • EPR program performance improvement • Expanded market size subject to EPR laws • Closed Loop Supply Chains • Producers shift from sellers of products to service providers • Sell the benefit of the product versus the product itself 19

  18. Beer • 2010 Return Rate 94% • Bottles reused 15 times • Bottles reused 15 times on average • Cost approx. 60% less to reuse bottles versus make from new material 20
